5 months later amd finally seeing progress🙌🏼

“Balance isn’t just physical—it’s patience, consistency, and trust.”

Healing hasn’t been easy, and this injury tested me in ways I didn’t expect—physically and mentally. Some days were heavy, frustrating, and slow. But today I’m choosing to celebrate improvement, no matter how small. Still a journey, but finally moving forward. 🙌🏼

1st official therapy sesh. It was uncomfortable, a little painful, but I definitely tried💪🏼 I can only bend my knee 23° right now, goal is 30° by Friday🤞🏼Let's Go!!!

I had surgery on my right knee today. My meniscus tear was cleaned up, and I had 50% of my cartilage replaced where my patella is. My recovery will be between 2 to 3 months, and then the left knee is next. It sucks, BUT the lesson that I can share with everyone is LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! Don't let any trainer, instructor, coach, or anyone around you push you because they think they know better. Only you know your body---listen to it, modify, rest, adjust, do whatever you need to do so you can continue doing what you love🖤💪🏼

From the front row to the sidelines, I’ll still be rooting for you. Keep striving, keep sweating, keep winning—one rep, one step at a time.
